ART OF SECURING PICTURES TO WATCHES OR OTHER ARTICLES.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 511 ,678, dated December 26, 1893. Application filed June 22, 1893. fierial No. 4'781506- (N0 model.)

To aZZ whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, EDWIN II. BROWN, a citizen of the United States, residing at Brooklyn, in the county of Kings and State of New York, have invented new and useful Improvements in Securing Pictures to \Vatches or other Articles, of which the following is a specification.

The object of this invention is to secure pictures or other delineations or ornaments to such articles as watches, jewelry and other objects in a tasty and durable manner and the invention consists in the novel features of construction set forth in the following specification and claims and illustrated in the annexed drawings, in which Figure l is a face view of a picture secured in place. Fig. 2 is a section along ocwFig. 1.

In the drawings the letter A indicates a ring or bezel having two grooves B G. The background D, usually of milk glass is snapped or held in the groove B. The glass or crystal E with the picture is held in groove 0. The picture or photograph is on the under or inner side of the transparent glass E soas to be protected against scratching or injury and this picture with the background D shows through the glass E in a neat and tasty manner.

In addition to the milky orlight background D it is sometimes desired to give a further tone to the picture in which case atoning or back F is inserted into groove B so as to be held therein with the background D. The

toning F can be readily formed from suitable material such for example as a disk of cellu- I have found that by loid of suitable color.

making the toning F of yellow color a pleasing effect is obtained in connection with a background D of milky glass, Of course the glass E can be provided not merely with a picture or photograph but with any desired delineation or representation as for example monograms, paintings and the like.

The ring or holder A may be a ring of a watch or other article, such as a bracelet or locket or said ring or holder may be secured at any suitable place as to a pocket book, album cover or elsewhere.

What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

1. The combination of a ring A provided with two grooves B and G, a background D secured in one of the grooves, a transparent glass E secured in the other groove and through which the background is visible, and a picture applied to the inner surface of the transparent glass, substantially as described.

2. The combination of a ring provided with two grooves B and O, a milk glass D held in one of the grooves and constituting a background, a transparent glass E secured in the other groove and through which the milk glass background is visible, and a picture applied to the inner surface of the transparent glass, substantially as described.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.

EDWIN H. BROWN.
